July 7 Day Creation Challenge

Kanga In...

Hellloooooo Peeps. How are we all??? Good I hope. So what's new with you? Great, oh Me? Well on Sunday I set myself a challenge to create somethingfrom woe to go each day for a week. It could be something that I already knew how to make, orsomething new. I was open to requests and got a great one from Sausage Mama (check out her site www.sausagemama.com for great stuff about, pregnancy, being a parent, eco stuff... the list goes on. Great site though) for an ironing board cover, which I ironically need a new one. I haven't made it yet but I still have 4 days to go so... it'll get done.

Monday came around and I hadn't done anything during the day and was going to that night, however a family situation arose late afternoon and the time I had allocated for sewing was now family time. I vowed to make two items on Tuesday and that I did. I made my little man a pair of pants, or "munchkin bums" as I affectionately like to call them.

"Munchkin Bums, for MY munchkin bum!"

I got to make them during the day as Hubby was home sick from work. (On that note, we are all sick actually. Just a pesky cold and I'm doing the best out of all of us so....) So that left me time to make my Tuesday creation during the night, which I did and had fun doing too. My little man needs a beanie and I don't knit, so I made a little hat for him out of fleece.

It turns out when I tried it on him this morning that the band could've been a bit wider and a little shorter in length. Mind you he won't keep it on his head so it doesn't really matter at this stage. I am going to put a small piece of elastic in the back so it makes it a bit smaller and he can wear it now anyway.

So that's Monday and Tuesday covered on Tuesday, now for WEDNESDAY!!!

I had heaps of fun today as it involved a trip to Spotlight, and then creating. What i've created today is a gift for a friend of my Hubby's... and mine I guess. It is a funky red, black and white tie. He's a pretty funky dresser and is trying to bring back the tie at work, so it is the perfect gift. I just hope he likes it. When Hubby got home, he asked if there was enough material left to make him one. We'll see... Tomorrow's creation will be a gift for him too and it's going to be a blast making it. Possibly a little fiddly, but oh well. Oh and another trip to Spotlight too... I should just get a bed there I think.

Anyway it's late, til next time, with more news about the July 7 Day Creation Challenge.
